Walker’s season came to a cruel end when he seriously injured his knee against Carlton in Round Five. The Crows spearhead underwent reconstructive surgery, which was a success but confined him to a knee brace and crutches for three months. The two-time leading goalkicker was remarkably upbeat throughout and maintained a strong presence in the playing group. Is progressing well in his 12-month rehabilitation, but won’t be rushed back until he’s absolutely ready.
